Dream from Nov. 2007
Part 3: Insight/Vision
… During a moment when I am waiting again to talk with the organizer, I HAVE A COMPELLING INSIGHT:
I ‘see’ that
- there may be other groups like us.
- that there are others who may be entering this world (still/even now) as we did.
- (I see that our group), what we do/what we can do, has to do with coming together (as a unit, as a whole), to gather as much learning, knowledge, experience, etc., as we can, then, when we are ‘full’, we separate, go out into the world to see who else is there, what other groups have survived, what other people are around.
- we share our experience, etc.; we spread out into the world – and by doing so, we somehow act as the tie (the connection for) the others who have come to this side.
I am incredibly excited as this insight rushes through me. Gesturing with my hands, I describe the insight/vision of coming together, learning/gathering, and separating. I bring my hands together in a gathering/containing motion, fingertips touching as though holding a sphere/ball, and then, with a slight push against the fingertips, I open my hands in a ‘bursting’/star burst motion as I say ‘we separate’, opening my arms and extending them in many directions with an expanding motion.
I am shaking when I finish.
It is so clear to me – this is what we can do!
I know that the whole group has to decide the next steps. And there may be other ideas, but for me, at least, this is what I see.
I am shaking with excitement and a sense of awe/compassion. We have a purpose. I am part of something. Up to now, I couldn’t have said what it is I do in/for the group, but in this moment, I know how I fit. The insight is what I bring to the group – it makes a difference.
This is why I am here (on this side). Now I know the reason. Whatever is ultimately decided by the group, the image is planted – the vision is a ‘seed’ and speaking it out loud has planted it. I have completely forgotten my earlier idea (of a scholarship) – this one is bigger.
Those who come now will be individuals, scattered, mostly between whatever groups there may be. Somehow I know there are other groups — individuals having something in common who found each other, as we did. And I also know that I am in the ‘first’ group from the collapse/change. We’ve been here the ‘longest’. We’ve had time to learn what the others will need to know. They will need to know what we have learned. The time ‘before’ is done. This world is New. This world is Now.
